Americans are voting everywhere coast to coast on Tuesday deciding who the nation’s next Commander-in-Chief will be, former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris.
This whirlwind election, where the former president, a Republican, seeks to return to the office he left four years ago faces off against a vice president who supplanted her party’s president as the Democrat nominee without a primary after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race this summer, comes to a close finally.
The seven major battleground states everyone is watching are North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. To win the White House, a candidate needs to win 270 electoral votes. This photo-finish presidential race is and has been for weeks described by all sides and observers as “close” and “down to the wire.” Who Americans elect as their president will have major implications for the nation and every major issue facing the country, as well as for the world as a whole.
In addition to the presidency, the majorities in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House are on the line. Republicans see a clear pathway to the Senate majority, but Democrats see a clear pathway to a House majority. Which party controls either or both could go a very long way to either jumpstarting the agenda of who wins the White House, or tying the hands of the next president, who will be sworn in on January 20, 2025, at the inauguration.
